Small-town feel in a large city suburb
The Metra commuter rail tracks go through the middle of downtown, allowing people who don’t live in Hinsdale to see quaint downtown shops to the south and a busy city park and village offices to the north. Also, outside those train windows are beautifully kept homes, some as old as the late 1800s, on streets with mature trees. The picture of suburbia that people see makes it easy to forget that Hinsdale is close to a busy interstate and only 20 miles west of downtown Chicago.

Mainly local businesses
South of the Metra tracks, old-fashioned streetlights, awnings on businesses, and diagonal street parking are all part of downtown Hinsdale and are an instant throwback to what downtown retail shopping was like before the malls took over. It’s on the National Register of Historic Places. “It’s a three-block radius of older buildings that have been modernized, but the old-time charm is still there,” says Tracy Anderson, a real estate broker at Compass with nearly 20 years of experience. “Starbucks may be the only big chain downtown. Everything else is a locally owned business.” Burdi Clothing is a formal men’s wear store with an Italian influence in business for over 50 years. Razny Jewelers is family-owned and specializes in Rolex watches and other fine jewelry. Café La Fortuna roasts their coffee beans each morning. They also serve Mexican hot chocolate and breakfast paninis.
Cafes offer outdoor seating throughout Downtown Hinsdale, including Toni Patisserie & Cafe.

On the other side of the tracks
North of the tracks, the Hinsdale Memorial Building is a towering brick Colonial Revival that was built in 1927. It’s located on Chicago Avenue and sits on a slight incline overlooking the downtown area to the south. The eastern part of the building houses the village offices of Hinsdale, while the northwest addition to the building is the Hinsdale Library. The Memorial Building was designated as a Historic Landmark in 2001. During the warm weather months, Burlington Park is a center of activity a couple of days a week. From June through mid-October, the Hinsdale Farmers Market sets up Mondays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Chicago Avenue between Garfield and Washington Streets between the Memorial Building and the park. From mid-June through August, Uniquely Thursdays take place in Burlington Park from 6-9 p.m. with live music, food vendors and fun activities for the whole family. “There’s also a Fourth of July parade that goes through downtown. It’s a great slice of Americana,” Anderson says. The parade route starts south of downtown on Garfield Street and goes north into downtown and south again on Grant Street.

Million-dollar historic homes
Surrounding the unique shops of downtown Hinsdale are the historic houses. Most range from $700,000 to $1.5 million, but some are priced closer to $5 million, especially east of the downtown area where the lots are bigger. Classic and modern farmhouses from the late 19th century to the early 20th, Tudor-influenced, and Colonial Revival. One of the more unique modern homes is the Hidden Manor on Park Avenue. It’s a French Eclectic house built in 2008 by two local architects. The house has seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms and is valued at around $3.5 million. Even homes built in the late 20th century call back to classic Colonial Revival and Queen Anne architecture.
